Eric's watch acted broken in the noodle shots...or we couldn't see straight!

Because they are funny, they make me smile, they are unfailing kind and polite to the people they meet along they way (rare taxi driver excepted ), they clearly appreciate the race and take time to enjoy the places and the people along the way, they never would dream of degrading each other and rarely (maybe twice this whole race?) even became irritated with each other, and did I mention they make me happy? Nice people that I would love to welcome into my life.

Plus there is the whole I want to be BFF with Oswald

Actually on this team (who I do like a lot and wish were in the finally three with Eric & Danielle and Dustin & Kandice), I think its really hard to see how upset they are. I think they have been more upset then some realize.

We have seen them in much worse moods to locals, to each other this season then in 2. From cussing out racers (using the worst language of the season and doing it very loudly and in public), calling one of them an stubborn SOB, to calling a local a loser, to insulting the cab driver by talking about killing him (that was faily uncool), to on clips for this episode insulting the language abilities of the people of Macau and their ability to speak Portugeese and chinese (whichi s really surprising something they normally wouldn't do), as well as hoping to never see the place again. I think in many ways they have bickered a lot like Eric & Danielle, but I also think they have had two episodes of really having troubles getting along and being upset at each other.

On the innertube video--had the hourglass really run out before they noticed?? I couldn't tell on my screen.

Nope in the clip of them making fun of Danny's sheer bathing suit (Yikes also mentioned by other teams before or by Danny & Oswald can't remember) there is still sand, its has about a 1/3 or a 1/4 left in in. But there is a lot of glare and you really have to look to see it.

Also about his watch. We need to remember that it is working since he was keeping track of penalty (you even see him check it before getting on the mat. But it doesn't mean the hour and time changes are accurate to beable to track a penalty.

Also curious with roughly an hour to make up in penalties, has any team ever had to make up that much time in penalties over the seasons?

A whole missing task? Darn--I would have loved to see that one! Doesn't quite look like our screencap fishies though...

Just another example of having too much good stuff to show. Remember the TeePee in Canada?

I've sent an email to the Macau Dragon Boat Club asking if they have any information.

And just heard back!

Dear Ms. PeachThe file you sent us is not very clear so it is hard for us to say which event it is from. We can only say that it is either from the 2006 Macau International Dragon Boat Races or the 7th Asian Dragon Boat Championship also held in 2006 in Macau. We hope this information is of any use.

Best regards,

Macau Sport Development Board

Too little --too late-- but I'm applying for the Foreign Correspondent position at RFF anyway!
